Another Pretty Pirate Designs original!

This is a dress I made last summer, I don't wear it often enough. In fact lately I have decided I need to start wearing the things I have made with my own two hands. This fabric is so beautiful, I thrifted it in Seattle before I moved to SF. I had held onto it for a long time and was always too scared to cut it up because I didn't want to damage it. I decided to use the embroidery on both the top and bottom, I thought It was the best way to get the most out of the gorgeous intricacy of the fabric. It was the type of fabric with the design all concentrated on one side so I flipped it over for the top. I thought that was pretty smart, ha! I am standing in front of the salon which has scaffolding up right now as they are fixing the building up.

Who is this Pretty PIrate?

Pretty Pirate Designs is the name of my clothing line, Etsy shop and blog. My friend Ian started calling me and some other pretty ladies pretty pirates a few summers ago, in the midst of all kinds of fun on a island outside of Seattle. I thought it was so fun and cute that I renamed my clothing line after it. Thanks ur a peeing Ian!

The real pretty pirate is a student of life, follower of the light, hairstylist, clothing designer, jewelry designer and artist. I love beauty and can see it in everything and everyone. I live in San Francisco where the love is always happening.
